CHARITY NON LEAGUE FOOTBALL BLOG


Each year, me and my wife Hazel have decided to help a different CHARITY, by donating 25p every goal we see at the matches we attend.
Over the years, people and clubs from as far as Coxhoe in Durham down to Penzance in Cornwall have donated as we have visited the grounds and we have raised over £3,500 in the 4 seasons we have run the Charity Blog. As you can see from the Photo above, last season(2014-15) we raised £1325.00 for Support Dogs.

During the 2015-16 season, we are supporting 2 worthy causes

1. THE FOXTON CENTRE
2. INTEGRITAS

Both Charities aid homeless people and people with mental issues and vulnerable adults.So if you would
like to make a donation(no matter how small) and
you see me at a match, please come up to me or Hazel, we would be very grateful. All Donators will get a mention on the blog and the running total is on the left hand side.

Many Thanks

Rob & Hazel Hornby

NOTTS SET FOR FOOTBALL BONANZA


NOTTS TO HOST FOOTBALL BONANZA
The Precision Notts Senior Football League will host its Annual Football Bonanza in April 2016 with fans flocking from all over the World visiting the Nottinghamshire area.

Having been hosted by numerous leagues in the past and this being the Notts Senior League's fourth, the Football Bonanza has a proud history of providing Non League Football Fans with a unique and well organised experiance.

This years event will prize of five matches from the Precision Notts Senior League, with a Friday evening match on Friday 29th April and four matches on Saturday 30th April 2016.

Rob Hornby,the man behind the event through organisation, knows only too well the prestiage behind it, " Bonanzas or as fans like to call them Groundhops  began in the early 1990's on the Northern League.

They have gathered a lot of support of the years, I organised nine for the Central Midlands League and this being my fourth with the step seven Notts Senior League, They are like yearly get togethers for people in the football community from all over."

Perhaps the biggest aspect of the clubs having been chosen in these League Matches is the vital potential revenue. Advanced Tickets to see all five matches can be booked for just £15 and that includes the pack of 5 programmes, with the proceeds being split between the ten clubs.

Hornby says "The clubs make a bit of vital cash through Advanced Ticket Sales which is a godsend to them, the event not only puts the clubs on the map but also shows how good the Notts Senior League is.

The event is well known throughout the World, with visitors coming to the grounds from as far as sweden and all across the UK"

The event kicks off on the evening of Friday 29th April 2016 with Attenborough FC hosting Awsworth Villa with a 6.30pm start.

The following morning begins early for Hornby, as he meets those who have booked on the coach for only £15 per seat at Midland Railway Station in Nottingham at 8.30am and head for Beeston FC v Underwood Villa FC as they kick off at 10.05am, everyone then treks onwards to Basil Russell Playing Fields for the 12.45pm kick off between Bilborough United FC v Ashland Rovers FC, for the 3.15pm kick off, we head to Grassington Road, just off Aspley Lane for Nottinghamshire FC v Gedling Southbank and finish at the side of the River Trent in Stoke Baldolph for Real United FC v Unity FC, where kick off time is 6.15pm.
